Olioli is a concept inspired from the conflation of four things. Children’s museums, innovative playgrounds, children’s art museums / studios & maker spaces / creative labs. We created a purpose-built learning sanctuary providing an opportunity for creative, open-ended, unstructured and limitless play. A conceptual journey through the galleries that is whimsical and entices curiosity using vibrant color accents with neutral materials and cleverly retaining the existing architectural structure of the building. The passage through the arches has a significant rhythm of light and shadows and the textured materials such as concrete, wood, and metal - add a sensory layer to the experiences. Transitory spaces that evolve and change often and therefore enable people to come back for new experiences every time. The overall space looks organic and evolving - ever improving. Achieved by implementing key elements of temporary, interactive art installations, and traveling exhibitions that are being changed periodically.
"If you give children a challenging play environment, well designed so they can assess risk, they will not get hurt." Divias’ structures encourage children to challenge themselves but with many routes and options. We find it most important that children find their own way in how they make use of spaces and want to interfere as little as possible on their journey of exploration and joyful experiences.
